Primary Identifier | MGI:2136940 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 10 | NCBI Gene Number | 59004 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables several functions, including SUMO ligase activity; transcription corepressor activity; and ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of keratinocyte apoptotic process; protein sumoylation; and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Acts upstream of or within central nervous system development; regulation of signal transduction; and skin epidermis development. Located in nuclear matrix and nucleoplasm. Part of transferase complex. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; hair follicle; and heart. Orthologous to human PIAS4 (protein inhibitor of activated STAT 4). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mutants display mild postnatal lethality or a normal phenotype depending on strain background.
